Swim Stories

Please share your true swimming stories of remarkable feats, inspiring, interesting or unsual. Today Sat Jan 22nd, 2010 at the end of my blog I retold a story I heard UT Men's assistant coach tell the mens team this morning. Please share yours. I look forward to reading them. Let's gather round the fire and be amazed. Swim Faster Faster, Ande

  • Speaking of close 500's, this happened at the 2007 PNA Championships: Men 18-24 500 Yard Freestyle 1 Whitbeck, Dave 24 HMST 4:59.01 27.18 56.70 1:26.17 1:56.66 2:27.38 2:58.09 3:28.85 3:59.90 4:30.09 4:59.01 Men 35-39 500 Yard Freestyle 1 Kays, David 39 PRO 4:59.01P 27.25 56.49 1:26.16 1:56.52 2:27.11 2:57.71 3:28.34 3:58.85 4:29.46 4:59.01 I watched that race from the pool deck. Of course I'd seen ties before, but never in an event that long. While we're on the subject, I didn't see any of this insanity happen but here's a video of the swimoff tie: YouTube - 2008 EISL SWIM OFF TIE (and where's my :jawdrop: smilie?)
